Relish

Relish recipes date back to ancient times, when people would add herbs and spices to their food to make it more palatable. In the Middle Ages, relishes were used to cover up the taste of spoiled food. By the Renaissance, cooks had developed elaborate recipes for relishes, which were served as both appetizers and side dishes. In the 18th century, relish recipes became more refined, and by the 19th century, they were an essential part of many American cookbooks. Today, relishes are still a popular way to add flavor to food, and there are endless variations on the classic recipes.
